Question
What are the common symptoms that may appear in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common pediatric disease. Children with the condition typically experience symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. The fever may range from low to high (39-40 degrees Celsius), accompanied by chills and fatigue. The child’s tonsils may appear red and swollen, often with enlargement. If left untreated, the child may develop serious complications such as nephritis and endocarditis. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their child’s condition if they suspect tonsillitis and seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible.
